  1. Well researched video.
    Addition:
    The eggjoke contains growhormons.
    1/3 pea and 2/3 rice protein results in the best amino profile.
    Further there are other combos fitting great like rice and beans, egg and potato.

    With my 40 years and lean 70kgs have only 70-100g protein a day for years and still do great gains

  2. There is no way I could eat 3 times per day let alone 5 or 6… isnt that not good for insulin? I do not eat breakfast, ever, I just dont feel hungry, I eat big meal fro lunch where I consume most of my protein, and than I have light dinner.

  3. I really like watching your videos, but you’re getting far too carried away with the sound effects in editing. Don’t need to hear bings, rings, dings and distracting (unnecessary) noises. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

  4. Great breakdown in this video! @TotalShape recently shared an article about optimizing protein timing for muscle growth, and it really lines up with the idea of spreading intake throughout the day. Love seeing the science-backed tips here!

  5. Thank you !! I've been vegan for 7 years now and the last 2 years have been training , I usually consume about 2200/cal – 120g protein / 190 lbs , I've had really great results and feel I broke the stigmas of vegans not being able to grow muscles . I follow alot of Jeremy workout ideas and make it my own . ❤Animals = Safe❤

  6. Did I undertood? I can take 30gr of protein per meal and my body can absorb it in lapses of 2 hours? So what happens if I eat 3 meals per days of 40grs of protein each one? Those 10gr extra will go to the toilet?

  7. The fact that whole eggs were superior to egg white was not a surprise for me. Egg yolk is a real superfood (not like kale), they contain a lot of nutrients like vitamins, choline, minerals, cholesterol which is the building block for all steroid hormones and fats including Omega 3. It may be a surprise for many but our cells are not made only of proteins, they are also made of fats. Not only we need fat to make new cells but proteins are also better assimilated when eaten with fats. I tried to explain that at the gym to some dudette who was taking white egg powder as a supplement, too bad I didn't know the study quoted here by Jeremy.

  8. 8:12 is this still valid? I saw a research that mentioned something along the lines of the 100g meal group was still digesting it 12hours in, resulting in 30% muscle protein synthesis over the 12 hours? So where do we stand on this now? 🤔

  9. So.. There is no benefits to drinking a protein shake directly after a workout compare to eating 3 meals (containing protein) a day? Or just drinking the shake a bit later or earlier with one of those meals?

  10. It’s funny how you speak about eating the muscles and other products of animals like it’s a completely normal thing and then say “but don’t get any weird ideas” when it comes to eating the muscles of humans… Maybe start rethinking your ethical logic because just like it isn’t ethically okay to consume the muscles of murdered humans it’s also not okay to consume the muscles of murdered animals!!!
    And just because animal protein has a bit of a better biological availability, it still doesn’t justify murdering sentient beings just to eat their muscles and other products (eggs, milk, etc.) when you’re perfectly able to build muscles without animal products!

  11. Regarding the increased meals, wouldn’t that cause your insulin to rise more frequently leading to less fat burn? Although it makes no difference on muscle mass or strength gains, I’m sure it has an effect on fat burn

  12. Lean protein absorption rates increase, regardless of your age, the day you do strength training exercises. Based on recent studies, the super good news is you can still do time restricted feeding or intermittent fasting because strength training increases your protein synthesis to 100 grams or more per sitting, meaning you can do One Meal A Day (OMAD) intermittent fasting with no limit in how much protein your body can absorb and still enjoy the benefits of autophagy. More on fasting and autophagy later. This is great news if you are trying to maintain or gain muscle mass and are concerned about getting enough protein. The evidence is in a recent Cell Reports Medicine published study with healthy, lean individuals, that observed the ingestion of a single, large amount of protein (100 g) resulted in prolonged anabolism (protein synthesis) without compromising whole-body protein breakdown rates, muscle mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTOR) signaling, or markers of muscle autophagy. mTOR regulates cell proliferation, autophagy and apoptosis, which the normal death of cells in our development. When mTOR is activated, it stimulates muscles to grow through activation of various hormones. Leucine has been shown to improve strength in older adults, especially those with sarcopenia (muscle loss). The caveat is that unhealthy or obese individuals may not get the same effect. This news should motivate those individuals to improve their health and get in shape. As a supplement, whey protein has the highest effect on muscle protein synthesis and post-exercise, whey protein shakes can be over 120% better at muscle protein synthesis than other type of protein shakes. It has to do with the insulin spike and the leucine availability, which help muscles recover after strenuous exercise.

  13. Newer the studies are – then less you can trust them in case of "vegetables are as good as meat". Remeber there's a "ideologicall war" about it.

  14. I've always wondered if Drinking a protein smoothie directly after a work out or drinking that same protein smoothie a day later when your muscles are actually sore would be better?

  15. At the very start of this video, you use a clip that says "Protein shakes are really bad", and "If you take too much protein in you're going to damage your kidneys", but your video didn't cover these clips. I'm wondering if you can address them.

  16. The BEEF lobby and the DAIRY lobby fund these researchers. You have to know that by now. They literally have their own commercials. Remember milk mustache commercials. That was not a brand just a lobby. Same with beef. The entire continent of Africa survived es on basically legumes. Beyond the war torn parts they are doing just fine. In fact they fight lions. Whey makes people sh1t themselves. Think about it.

  17. This subject really needs an updated video since we no so much more and things a very different than what we use to think. Especially the protein every 2hrs and 20 30 max for protein syntehsis.
